"Do you still have the note?"
After hearing Shen Yuanshuo's description of the scene, Lu Zhi asked while trying to put her hand into his sleeve, but he slapped her in panic.
“Bang!”
The air became frozen after the crisp sound. Lu Zhi covered the back of his hand which was quickly turning red with his eyes wide open, and glared angrily at Shen Yuanshuo whose face was full of apology and guilt.
Shen Yuanshuo really didn't expect that she would make a move on him. In the past, he naturally wished that she would get closer to him.
But today he...
Sitting in a corner of the couch, Shen Yuanshuo concealed his embarrassment, changed his sitting position calmly, and apologized with a strong desire to survive.
The pain made Lu Zhire's confused mind clear up. She moved her buttocks back a few times awkwardly, and the fingers hidden under her sleeves kept curling up.
It really shortened her life. How could she lay her hands on Shen Yuanshuo? He was clearly...
No, Lu Zhi patted her head. Why was she so sure that she couldn't do anything to Shen Yuanshuo? He was clearly her husband, wasn't he?
...
...
Isn’t it… isn’t it?
Lu Zhi lowered her eyelids, and under the flickering candlelight, her thick, long eyelashes blocked out most of the light, casting a semi-arc of shadow under her eyelids.
She suspected that she had forgotten something important. Ever since she married into the Lu family, the sense of crisis and disharmony in her heart had grown stronger and stronger.
Now she even began to doubt Shen Yuanshuo and herself.
Lu Zhi believed in her sixth sense very much. Perhaps she really had forgotten some very important memories.
After tidying himself up, Shen Yuanshuo looked up and saw his wife covering the back of her swollen hand in a daze, her eyes wandering.
Thinking that he had hurt her, Shen Yuanshuo ignored the discomfort below him and came close to her to say soothing words.
"Alright, alright," Lu Zhi blushed at his teasing, raised her hand and fanned her face, then pushed his face away, "Hand over the note."
Hearing this, Shen Yuanshuo got up and went outside, then soon came back in with a chill.
He spread out the notes he had prepared in his arms in front of Lu Zhi.
The small table on the couch was covered with dense black words.
Even though she didn't understand him very well, Lu Zhi knew a little about Mr. Shen's quirks - he loved regular script very much, and couldn't stand cursive script.
Although she had complained about it before, she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the cursive writing that was most likely written by Mr. Shen.
How can a person change his ingrained preferences?
"Don't you think Dad has become a different person? I went to the front yard today and Dad looked at me in a strange way. I always felt that he was in a bad mental state."
What Lu Zhi thought was also what Shen Yuanshuo guessed.
But is such an absurd thing really possible?
She picked up one of the notes:
[Life in the world of the living will end, so what's wrong with death and going to the underworld? 】
Tang Bohu's "Deathbed Poem".
After careful consideration, Master Shen has not yet reached the stage of knowing his fate, and his body seems to be strong. Although his spirit is not good, he is definitely not at the point of death.
【Want to kill me?】
【Can you find where the real me is? 】
[It's useless to struggle, just accept it and enjoy immortality with me, isn't it?! ]
【……】
The cursive writing on the paper became more and more wild, and the writer seemed to be extremely angry and resentful. The resentment was bursting across the paper, and Lu Zhi could feel the suffocation and powerlessness.
She suddenly grabbed the sleeve of the man beside her and pointed at the words "eternal life" on the paper: "Chen Yuanshuo, could it be a ghost?"
Speaking of ghosts, after returning from Dayin Temple, Lu Zhi seemed to have never encountered any frightening or strange things again.
She glanced around inconspicuously and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when a cold arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, making her shiver.
Shen Yuanshuo saw Lu Zhi's actions from the corner of his eye and turned his head away in confusion.
After staring at Lu Zhi for a while, all the doubts in his eyes receded, and were replaced by raging jealousy.
"Azhi!"
Lu Zhi froze in place, wanting to cry but unable to cry. Her wrists were tightly restrained by Shen Yuanshuo, and the pervert's arm was wrapped around her waist.
Shen Yuanshuo was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. He stared at Lu Zhi and shouted with gritted teeth: "Shen Yuanwei! Don't force me to make you completely disappear into ashes!"
Shen Yuanying? !
Hearing Shen Yuanshuo's words, countless question marks floated across Lu Zhi's forehead.
After thinking about it, she never expected that the pervert who flirted with her that day would be her elder sister Lu Yue's husband, Shen Yuanshuo's elder brother Shen Yuanying.
Lu Zhi shuddered all over, and with strength from nowhere she struggled to break free from the restraints around her waist. Because of the excessive force she exerted, she fell into Shen Yuanshuo's arms.
Her chin hit his chest. Hearing his low groan, Lu Zhi raised her head worriedly, and tried to increase the distance between them with her hands, but he pressed her into his arms again.
There was undisguised pride and provocation in Shen Yuanshuo's eyes.
Lu Zhi couldn't see clearly, but he could make out a shape.
The faint black mist outlined the tall figure of the man, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and strong arms hanging at his sides. Who else could it be but Chen Yuanying.
Seeing the provocation and complacency in his brother's eyes, Shen Yuan clenched his fists, wishing he could tear his face apart.
Why? Why?!
The person he liked from the beginning to the end was Lu Zhi. If it weren't for A Niang's interference, it would have been him, Chen Yuanying, who married Lu Zhi!
Thinking of Lu Yue's hypocritical face, Shen Yuanying couldn't help but get angry again.
Fortunately, before he died, he asked his father to put Lu Yue, the vicious woman, under house arrest in Zhiyue Pavilion, otherwise his Zhizhi would not know how she was framed by her.
The game between the two brothers lasted only a few breaths.
"Azhi," Shen Yuanshuo's dull voice sounded from above his head. Lu Zhi tilted her head and lay in his arms, her earlobes numbed by the vibration of his chest.
She responded softly.
Shen Yuanshuo touched the end of her hair and said, "Go take a shower first, okay? I have something to say to him."
It's obvious who he is.
Lu Zhi didn't want to face a confrontation that would make his scalp tingle, so he responded obediently and rushed out of the inner room without looking back.
The man and the ghost breathed a sigh of relief at the same time when they heard her softly instructing the maid to prepare hot water and flower petals.
Shen Yuanying and Shen Yuanshuo are twins. There is a secret between them that has never been announced to the public. Even Shen Yuanying, who is very close to Madam Shen, has never told her the secret.
The two brothers have a strange telepathic connection.
In other words, Shen Yuanshuo's happiness can be felt by Shen Yuanying. Similarly, Shen Yuanying's sadness can also be felt by Shen Yuanshuo.
This is also the reason why, even though he clearly couldn't see Chen Yuanying's presence at the beginning, he asked Azhi whether he had encountered anyone or anything.
As he was busy in the mansion, he suddenly felt joy and excitement in his heart, the feeling was exactly the same as when he got married.
For a moment, Chen Yuanshuo wanted to rush into the mourning hall, chop the dignified-looking Chen Yuanwei lying in the coffin into pieces, and throw him into the deep mountains and forests to feed the vicious dogs.
Unfortunately he can't.
"Chen Yuan, you are so treacherous." Chen Yuanshuo's eyes were filled with sneers. "You can't even rest in peace after death, and you still flirt with my wife. You really deserve to die."
Unmoved by his sarcasm, Shen Yuanying was too lazy to argue: "A Shuo, she is my destined bride, the ghost bride."
"Fuck that ghost bride! She's mine, and can only be mine!" Shen Yuanshuo, who always had a smile on his face and a very good temper, was so angry that he cursed and slammed his hands on the table.
The papers were swept into the air at random, and the fire in the man's eyes was burning between the scattered black words on the white paper.
How could he forget that at the beginning, Lu Zhi’s fiancé was actually Shen Yuanying, and Lu Zhi was the treasure he had calculated.
"I'm not here to argue with you about this." Chen Yuan lowered his sinister eyes, stared at the red-faced man in front of him, and slowly said, "A Shuo, don't take her to see Lu Yue."
Chen Yuanying: "If possible, please take her far away from the capital and never come back."
